I made two panels today - using two colours of Distress Oxide inks
the light blue ink is Broken China with a stencil made by a local NZ company and the greener one is Evergreen Bough with an Altenew Roses Bouquet stencil. I put it at an angle on my card which is why I ended up with a bit of a muntted corner piece. Basically you use your stencil to emboss onto the inked card - layer is embossing mat, oxide coloured panel, stencil and then a wet baby wipe over the top and passed through you die cutting machine a few times. The moisture of the baby wipe lightens the stenciling. It looks and feels like velvet. I made the green one into a card
It's a bit smaller than an A5 size in length. I matted it onto black card and then onto a white base. I took some light green card and die cut the Catherine Pooler designs die and again die cut it from some black fun foam. Added the sub-sentiment from Altenew Hello Gorgeous set in white embossing. A few clear gems finished off the card. So happy with the results of this technique.
I am entering this one into the Monochromatic Challenge at The Flower Challenge

you got such great results using DO inks - maybe the color i used wasn't dark enough as mine just look embossed with no contrast - had better luck with the DI inks. anyway your card is lovely
Oh, these are stunning Dawn - I saw that technique and thought it was good one.
Well done on using it so beautifully
Stay safe
